Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero 2 – Defense and Justice 2
Central Córdoba and Defensa y Justicia tied 2 to 2 with a flurry of goals scored before half an hour in the first half, to later quench that vertigo in the remainder of the meeting, which closed in Santiago del Estero on the second date of the Group 2 of the Professional League Cup Football 2020.
The game had an unbridled pace in the first 30 minutes and had the remaining hour left over, starting because before 10 minutes they had already scored three goals, since at the minute the visitor started winning through his scorer, Braian Romero, but at 4 Juan Vieyra equalized and at 9 with a goal from a free kick, Marcelo Benítez put Hernán Crespo’s men ahead. Until at 27 minutes Cristian Vega appeared, taking advantage of the second backward error by Ciro Rius, to place the new equality on the scoreboard.
In that round trip, Defensa y Justicia did not show the fatigue of having competed during the week and having qualified for the knockout stages of the Copa Sudamericana against Paraguayan Sportivo Luqueño. While the locals, who make up a true mosaic after the dozen hires he made for this contest, including the arrival of the new coach, Alfredo Berti, tried to develop a football idea according to the thinking of their coach, trained at the school at Newell’s scored by Marcelo Bielsa. And since Crespo proposes a similar line of play for his teams, the game won in show because it was open from the startEspecially since both teams had lost on the opening day, and the two from locals: Central Córdoba 1 to 0 against Independiente and Defensa y Justicia nothing less than 3 to 0 against Colón.
Obviously, of course, the difference between an armed team like Florencio Varela’s and another in formation like Santiago’s, caused the visitors to be visually observed with the ball in their possession and playing longer in the rival field than defending themselves in their own. This observation was extended to the final quarter of an hour of the first half and for almost the entire second, although the domain of the “Falcon” became anodyne at times, while Central Córdoba was stopping more and more to play counterattack.
And in those positions the guest had a couple of good arrivals well sealed by goalkeeper Alejandro Sánchez, while the hosts launched themselves just when the game was launching its last death throes in pursuit of a victory that of locals and before such a short group phase , It became imperative, especially because of the four games that remain to finalize this first leg of the contest, three will be played as visitors.
For its part, Defense and Justice will have that condition more distributed, with two games in Florencio Varela and the rest in Santa Fe and Avellaneda. In fact now, to close the first round, the people of Santiago will visit Colón, in Santa Fe, while Defense and Justice will receive Independiente, in both cases with the chances for tonight’s rivals at the Alfredo Terrara to win and thus match. to the four members of the group with the same units.

Orozco himself was able to stretch the lead immediately, but Caranta covered the line and Favio Cabral had it in the other goal after a rebound, but again Morales stood out, well standing in the goal ‘Garnet’.
The place decided in the complement, and had its chances at the feet of Franco Fragapane and Nahuel Tenaglia, while José Sand had a very clear one for Lanús, but Caranta showed off with a spectacular one-handed cover, and then the experienced goalkeeper 42-year-old took out another difficult ball against the admitted Nicolás Orsini. The ‘Cacique’ Alexander Medina made several changes that gave the team more presence in attack, but without depth, until Colombian defender Rafael Pérez climbed up the left sector, and Nicolás Thaller lowered him in the area for referee Yael Falcón Pérez marks the penalty spot without hesitation. Pochettino finished off, Morales covered, the ball hit the post and on the rebound Carlos Auzqui scored the equalizer, so much so that he did not shout for his past in the ‘Grana’.
